Manufacturers & Different quality lines

Most manufacturers have different quality levels of windows, doors and skylights within their offerings. The popularity and the name of a manufacturer may be important, but you also need to take into account the specifications of the products of each manufacturer.

Local and national-global manufacturers

There are thousands of manufacturers of windows, doors and skylights. Most of them are small manufacturers, producing and selling at a local scale, while some have a much broader market.  Some small manufacturers have great windows and doors at good prices, but you should check out their product. An Energy Star or NFRC label/rating is the easier way of doing it.


Installation & Installers

Do not forget the importance of installation and installers. The best windows on the market are worthless if they aren’t installed correctly.

Do not install the windows (or doors, or skylights) yourself, unless you are sure of your option. If you intend to install the windows yourself, follow the installation instructions, double-check every detail and do not forget some general rules:

- Make sure the rough opening has the proper size, and is square and level.
- Protect the window during works.
- Apply the right flashing under window and door openings and also around them.
- Before anchoring the window in the wall, double-check the alignments.
- Use appropriate fasteners to secure and anchor
- Insulate without over-packing the interior cavities between the windows frame and the opening.
- To avoid moisture absorption, stain, insulate and seal unfinished surfaces promptly.
- Before applying the interior trim, double-check installation details and the operation of the window.
